Featuring the best back to wall baths in Australia

ArchiPro’s handpicked collection of baths from Australia includes everything from your everyday white, rectangular bath to drop in baths or freestanding giant stone bowls. Although a back to wall bath by definition is placed against a wall, as long as part of the bath sits under the taps any shape can work. This allows for a great variety of shapes and sizes, as well as a range of materials.

The advantages of high quality back to wall baths

Choosing a bathtub is a rare opportunity to ensure that you have the bath that suits you. It’s worth choosing a high-quality model both for the additional comfort its creative design allows, as well as the increased longevity and stability of high-quality materials.

High-quality bathtubs keep your water hotter for longer and are often treated with a grime-resistant coating that makes them easy to clean. By choosing a high-end bath you can spend more time enjoying the luxury it provides, and less time on cleaning and maintenance.

How to choose a back to wall bath that’s right for you

A back to wall bath can fit into a smaller bathroom, which leaves you free to choose a style that suits your decor and personal preferences. They also don’t have to conform to standard dimensions, so if you happen to be wider or taller than the average person in Australia, a back to wall bath gives you the chance to finally have a bathtub that fits you perfectly.

When it comes to materials, budget might be your biggest constraint. Stone baths retain heat for the longest and are strong and durable, as well as easy to clean. However, they are also heavy, expensive, and difficult to install. A lightweight acrylic model might be easier to install, but won’t be as durable or retain heat as well.

What is the standard size of a back to wall bath?

In most areas, the standard size is around 1500 x 750cm. However, due to the flexibility a back to wall bath allows when it comes to size and shape, different dimensions are common.

Should you tile a back to wall bath?

While tiling isn’t absolutely necessary, it does provide an easy to clean, waterproof surface which protects the wall underneath. Alternatives include waterproof panelling or mildew resistant paint.

Are back to wall baths good for kids?

Back to wall baths are great for kids, especially young ones. The added space between the ends of the bath and the walls makes it easier to bathe your child.
